Yeah, that made all the difference for Obama...
I really don't get the Biden hate, just shows people value BS more than actual policy.
Obama was a great speaker, but too polite for this era and too intellectual and non-confrontational. Today we need someone with more toughness and more able to speak in plain language and be a straight shooter and quick on their feet.
And also, if you haven't noticed, we are in a different political environment/landscape than any of the Obama years. It's another ballgame right now. You think I value BS more than policy? Oh lordy. I have given praise to Biden's accomplishments in office but in case you haven't noticed, shit is getting worse and worse. This is when you need a leader that inspires.
I'm not sure why people can't take critique of Biden, it's like this off-topic thing to them. Very thin skinned and close-minded. I feel sad for the Democratic party when you can't critique it, starting with the leadership role. I think that is a big reason whey we are in this mess - Dems just lack a certain fire to get things done and not always play the safe game (which is not even safe, Biden is not even a shoe in against Trump at this point)
I find it sad people don't think being inspired matters. It's bigly sad. Pseudo intellectual Dems are clueless.
Also, btw, even though Obama is not the right man for the job now, someone of his nature would have definitely beat Trump in 2016
